    Radiator Hose

     



    I am looking for a good part number for an upper radiator hose to use on my 29 Ford Tudor. It is running a SBC and the thermostat housing is pointing straight forward. The radiator is at stock height. Any help is appreciated.

    Thanks,
    Mike

    I would take a length of bailing wire or the like and run from one outlet to the other putting in the desired bend. Then I would go to my local auto parts store and search their inventory to find the closest match. You will need the outside diameter of each outlet and you might end up with a flex hose if you can't find the desired angle of the bend.

    That's what I had planned but was hoping there was a known part number out there. Thanks for the reply NTFDAY!

    Depending on the location, height, of the radiator I would look for one from a tri5 Chevy. IIRC, the tri5's had a center outlet at the top of the radiator and I assume that's what you have.

    Someone posted the numbers for upper & lower hoses with a SBC, but at the time I was doing SBF and didn't write them down. I'm with Ken, one was a Tri-5 chebby hose, but can't recall which. Hoping they will see this and post the info again....

    Did a search and found a reference to a Gates # 21285 for a lower hose. Not sure if it's a keeper number or not....
